2 Kings 3:20-25

20And it happenedH1961 in the morningH1242 1about the time of offeringH5927 the sacrificeH4503, that beholdH2009, waterH4325 cameH935 from the directionH1870 of EdomH112, and the countryH776 was filledH4390 with waterH4325.

21Now allH3605 the MoabitesH4124 heardH8085 that the kingsH4428 had comeH5927 upH5927 to fightH3898 against them. And allH3605 who were able to 2putH2296 onH2296 armorH2290 and olderH4605 were summonedH6817 and they tookH5975 their positionsH5975 on the borderH1366. 22Then they gotH7925 upH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and the sunH8121 shoneH2224 on the waterH4325, and the MoabitesH4124 sawH7200 the waterH4325 oppositeH4480H5048 them as redH122 as bloodH1818. 23So they saidH559, “ThisH2088 is bloodH1818; the kingsH4428 mustH2717 haveH2717 foughtH2717 each other, and they have killedH5221 oneH376 anotherH7453. NowH6258 then, MoabH4124, to the spoilsH7998!” 24But when they cameH935 to the campH4264 of IsraelH3478, the IsraelitesH3478 roseH6965 upH6965 and struckH5221 the MoabitesH4124, so that they fledH5127 from them; and the Israelites invadedH935 3the land, 4killingH5221 the MoabitesH4124. 255So they destroyedH2040 the citiesH5892; and eachH376 oneH376 threwH7993 a stoneH68 on everyH3605 plotH2513 ofH2513 goodH2896 landH2513 and filledH4390 it. So they stoppedH5640 upH5640 everyH3605 springH4599 of waterH4325 and 6cutH5307 downH5307 everyH3605 goodH2896 treeH6086, untilH5704 in 7Kir-haresethH7025 only they leftH7604 its stonesH68; however, the rockH7051 slingersH7051 surroundedH5437 it and struckH5221 it.
